Recently Dennis Rodman was in the
news again. Some folks just can't seem to keep out of it. As you might imagine,
outlandish behavior was the reason. Outlandish behavior is the new standard for
celebrity.
On the one hand, we blame the
paparazzi for hounding celebs everywhere. Those poor celebrities complain with
good reason. On the other hand, there are fame-starved celebrities who want
nothing more than to have a pack of paparazzi nipping at their fashionable
heels. And like the wild and crazy Miley Cyrus have a new measure of notoriety
to try to top.
Tweets per second.
As in, so and so did such and such
and got X many tweets per second. There's a Guinness Record I want to
hold. Tweeting by its very nature being not an act of discriminating taste, but
rather a measure of the mob. You could smear your naked body in dog poop, light
yourself on fire, and drive a motorcycle off a freeway overpass and get tweets
per second
Listening Miley?
Anyhow Dennis found a new way to
diddle the tweeter meter. He made friends with Kim Jong Un in North Korea. He's
"my friend for life" Dennis said. Don't be asking me to try to free
some American journalist. I'm just gonna hang with my man Un. Maybe play some
Uno.
I wondered. Why the sudden
friendship? Then I read an interesting news item. North Korea originally
started making crystal meth to sell illegally around the world for hard
currency. Now their own people are hopelessly addicted. In some areas up to 40%
of the population. Takes the edge off starvation…
So do Kim and Rodman got something
meth-related going on? I'd like to think it might be prevention.
Not just confusion over tweeting
and tweaking.
America, ya gotta love it.
